I think it's quite important to have/do things outside of youtube, despite what Mr Beetrooot does (yes I know he eats/sleeps/dreams/farts/smells/excretes youtube but not everyone should go to that extreme ).

For me, AlluringArctic is unique among sailing and adventure vlogs. Your Northwest Passage episodes are keenly awaited. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I think you are correct : better good interesting videos than many boring ones !

We’re here for the quality not the quantity. Exceptional video production. I can’t stand the bikini sailing crap. It’s just Alluring Arctic and TallyHo. Carry on!

@@Gottenhimfella In some ways, it's sort of inevitable that some form of routine gets established, I can't think of doing something like that and not have that happening. I think one thing that helps is to have things other than just sailing, I like that they do stuff like skiing and waterboarding. some channels seem to have very little outside of just "we have boat, we live on boat, show boat on camera" thing going on.

First of all, you are the owner of your life, so no need to excuse yourself. We are grateful to share some moments of your incredible experiences in areas that we just dream about.

Yeah. In the south of my home waters, where I sometimes sail, we occasionally get 80 knots of wind even in harbour and it's a challenge. At that wind strength, containers not restrained well enough blow off the dock. Not good for any boat that's in the way...

They are such high quality gems of beauty and exploration that they are well worth the wait. Live your own life. You only get one.

She's pretty damn amazing alright.

Little tip from a fellow (old) sailor - when leaving boat docked in an area where it might snow, cover as much as you can with a tarp(s). When you return you can just lift the tarp and the snow will fall overboard. Even works with ice. I also recommend a large push broom to push off any remaining snow. Cheers

Nice to hear you guys communicating in your native language. I love the drone shots of the mountains, the boat, and the downhills, well done.

Truly an impressive video. I realize these videos take lots of time and erroft to produce. Thank you. My wife and I sailed oceans together for over 55 years. Great experiences, however we almost always stayed between 40S and 40N. You guys are incredible. Your lady/crew is DOUBLE incredible. HOW do you get her to stay??? 😂

Good to see you back on the road. Not many sailing channels have a ski shop onboard. 😎

HH coats with duct tape patches on them, the sign of an experienced Arctic sailor.

I certainly understand your reasoning for not wanting to spend your time pumping out videos. The videos that you do produce are of such high quality that they are worth the wait in my opinion.

This channel is one of the gems of KZread.

I'm envious of Sohvi's woolen sweater collection! She has good taste in design and comfort.

I like that your videos show what it’s really like and not this perfect false reality that other sailing channels do. Glad to see you guys back aboard. Boat faired well considering the weather and wind conditions. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

hershey's is like bad coffee, it is fine until you try the good stuff. You do you, I'll watch when you put something out. The scenery is amazing. No need to compare yourself to other sailing channels. Everyone has their own motivation.

I'd much rather watch one high-quality video once a month from you than 4 from some of my other channels because you never disappoint. The drone shots with music are just incredibly well shot and edited, hands down world-class footage.

"I'm here just sitting on the beach to watch the ice float by" To me that humble sentiment superbly sums up the best philosophy for blending with Nature and staying true...and that's why I watch your videos. Thank you and I'm looking forward to following your Northwest Passage and Greenland journey.

As an 80 year old life-long sailor landlocked in central Missouri I love your videos. Keep them coming. Thanks

I love when you speak your native language!

I like your honesty .. "I just abandon all my responsibilities" 😄

Sohvi's smile always makes my day!! You put out just the right amount of videos ... don't change a thing!

11:02 this is one of the reasons I love your channel! Your channel is the only one I’ve seen with sailing and skiing in such beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing this with those of us stuck in suburban life!

I have to tell you that I watch quite a few sailing channels, and yours is the only one I am a patreon of. I completely agree with your philosophy that anyone sending money to a channel, must rate the quality and content of the video, making it worth paying to watch. I supported Leo with Tally ho, but he now has enough viewers that I decided to rather give you my patronage. as I now live on a 32ft Aries in Knysna Lagoon South Africa, with a plan to sail up the east coast to Madagascar and beyond, having rented out our house, we like to get tips from people making videos about what it is like to live on a yacht. I am 72 and almost 2m tall, so it is a challenge with such a small boat, but that is all we can afford. So, consider yourself lucky that a poor man like me, with shit currency, rates your work highly enough to actually pay for it. I hope this comment of mine will give you some small boost ,that what you do is interesting and well produced. I look forward to your future adventures in the North West Passage. Cheers, Alex

Love watching a boat come alive after being blanketed in snow & ice. Way more work than comes across in any video. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.

I like your honesty and sense of humor. Greetings from Thailand.

Taking pictures and videos and sharing their beauty with friends and family is much more humane than generating content for the masses. I have a hard time believing that the people that watch sailboats sailing in winter are the typical KZread sailing demographic. There is a serenity to the north-woods that is mystical and alluring. Once you glimpsed that spark it is hard to not be drawn back to it over and over. I am really excited to come along on your NW Passage. What an adventure that will be. Fair winds!

The average sailing yootoober would have taken a camera all over Finland for the two months you were back home. I like the mystery. We don't need to meet your uncle and cousins or experience shopping in a Finnish supermarket. Thanks for sparing us. Enjoy the beauty,

I totally understand your reasoning for quality content. I once again started watching for a while. I can't stop. the great scenery and the non-bikini content just keeps me watching!

@ 13:01 is what I want a metal picture of. That is just perfect!!

You have 🎿 other locations. You always have solid content that nobody can repeat

Fish and palm trees are nice, but you bring us great adventures with beautiful scenery. Keep doing what makes you happy. If it doesn't make me happy, that's my problem. It is wonderful to watch. Keep it up and a little more would be ok as well.

Hey Juho, easily the best sailing YT channel for scenery and stunning locations. I’m not a skier but even I love your skiing / snowboarding sequences and the photography/ videography and drone work are the best! Love a few little technical sailing tips thrown in occasionally but please just keep doing what you’re already doing. Infrequent, high quality videos are so much more engaging than the torrent of rubbish that is so common on other YT channels. Very much looking forward to seeing your journey through the northwest passage. Cheers from Tasmania, Australia.

Your videos are high quality compared to many other youtubers. Looking forward to more, once a month or so :-)

I’m not sure if you realize how unique, original and beautiful your videos are. There are so many videos that are very much like a hundred others but yours are very different than most others. Not only that but they are really interesting. I enjoy them very much and am among the others that would like to see more but I honor your choices and we will see them when we do. God bless.

Your best video yet? amazing scenery. You do not need to apologise for being different, That is why I watch your productions

We prefer the incredible quality of your videos (and the music), to quantity. That's why we like Sailing Yacht Florence, Erik Aanderaa, Magic Carpet etc. No one can expect to turn out 50 episodes a year and not become formulaic and tired and burned out. Not even professionals do that. Your videos are too good to turn into a boring weekly thing.

I enjoy all your videos and respect your decision to not be a slave to your channel. Srick to your principles! We will be looking forward to your Arctic passage.

Most people who leave their boats in the water in Valdez hire snow shovelers to keep the decks clear during the snowy season.

Each of your episodes brings tranquility to a troubled-world.

Re: video release. It’s all good releasing videos with great content. Much happier watching good content rather than watching lesser quality. Enjoy the trip! We will too.

I've missed your videos. You're in such stunningly beautiful scenery and doing things no one else is doing.
